People know French composer Alexandre C茅sar L茅opold Bizet as Georges for his opera Carmen in 1875.

This musical prodigy entered the Paris conservatoire at nine years of age in 1847. Over the next decade, Bizet won virtually every available prize, including the Prix de Rome. Bizet refused a career as a concert pianist. He wrote thirty not particularly successful operas until one, based on book of Prosper M茅rim茅e about a Spanish gypsy girl. The audience ably understood this controversial humble subject matter and passionate sweep of the libretto, scandalously written in French for the fact. After a brief run, criticism and a lukewarm reception closed the praised play. Thus dejected, he suffered from ill health, three months later, died of ...more

Il n鈥檃 jamais jamais connu de loi.
Si tou ne m鈥檃imes pas, je t鈥檃ime.
Si je t鈥檃ime, prends garde 脿 toi!”

“In 1857, Bizet departed for Rome and spent three years there. He studied the landscape, the culture, Italian literature and art. Musically he studied the scores of the great masters. At the end of the first year he was asked to submit a religious work as his required composition. As a self-described atheist, Bizet felt uneasy and hypocritical writing a religious piece. Instead, he submitted a comic opera. Publicly, the committee accepted, acknowledging his musical talent. Privately, the committee conveyed their displeasure. Thus, early in his career, Bizet displayed an independent spirit that would be reflected in innovative ideas in his opera composition.

[The Pearl Fishers - Georges Bizet, Virginia Opera]”
